Sandra Charles is an excellent and patient instructor. The class had a terrific time showing what we had done so far. And we can’t wait to get together again in the near future to show our finished work to one another.

It’s great to be able to try another creative form when you are accustomed to doing one type. While I love painting I also love learning and trying something new. Give it a try. Check out the schedule at The Studio and try something new!

Last week at my evening adult classes I started a painting. Sometimes when I feel that everyone is on track with their paintings I will paint during the adult art classes. On Wednesday and Thursday I worked on “The Talking Beagle”. It is an acrylic painting on 16″x20″ canvas. I have always loved the way Beagles “talk”-they throw their heads back and just let go! I love it.

This painting is about 75% finished. I still need to get in some details and the finish the face. I am hoping to get to that during this weeks class.

Art comes in all forms. This week I began a piece of embroidery in a class that I am taking at The Studio. I love the possibilities of working with thread and muslin. You can make any design that you can imagine.

We worked on learning different stitches as well as started a small little sampler where we are practicing the stitches we learned. Sandra Charles, our instructor, is a wonderful fiber artist and has so much patience helping us get it right.

This is the her sample of the piece we are doing for class. Hopefully I will have mine to share after we finish our last class next Monday. We’ll see.
